Yup, it's too small for much of anything. I'm only using it because the good cord was eaten by a pack rat a couple years ago and i didn't want to feed it another one. Like i said, i checked with a decent cord and had same issue. I'm hoping for a callback from WFCO. I've already confirmed the TT works plugged into a non-GFCI recepticle.

I'll be calling WFCO tomorrow to see if they have any further thoughts. I assume the spark was because the charge circuit on the converter was still energized. Seems a better design would be to kill that when the battery is not connected but who knows.

It has to be that way otherwise you wouldnt have any 12V items working in the rv. converter does two things, supplies 12V power for use and charges the battery if you don't have the battery in it still has to do the other.

Old thread but just to close this out now that I see I didn't. The issue was that the GFCI in the panel was faulty. It could have been caused by the TC and TT fridge power spike I suppose. Either way, the breaker was very toasty inside when I dissected it. The new one has not caused any issues for over a year now.
